About

Position and relocate your troops to fend off the Vikings, who each have their own counters to the threats you pose. Pick your battles and plan your evacuations carefully! Lose a commander and they’re gone forever; lose everything, and it’s game over!
You command the broad strokes of your defenses and monitor positioning — your soldiers do the rest, navigating and engaging intuitively in response to the situation at hand.
Each island is both stylistically charming and unique in its layout. Plan your strategies around every nook and cranny, for you only get one chance to save them from the enemy invasion.
A stronger, smarter defense leads to greater rewards. Use these to develop your subjects from a ragtag militia into seasoned warriors.
Your home is under attack. The king is dead at the hands of Viking invaders. Hope is a distant glimmer in the fog, fading fast with every passing moment. As you rise to take your father’s place as ruler, it will fall to you to stage your defenses. But make no mistake – this is no fight for victory, but a desperate grasp for survival.
Bad North is a charming but brutal real-time tactics roguelite. Defend your idyllic island kingdom against a horde of Viking invaders, as you lead the desperate exodus of your people. Command your loyal subjects to take full tactical advantage of the unique shape of each island. Everything is at stake: fail, and watch the blood of your subjects stain the ground red.
With beautiful procedurally-generated islands and adorable soldiers juxtaposed against the blood-stained realities of war. You control the broad strokes of the battle, giving high level commands to your soldiers who try their best to carry them out in the heat of the moment. It’s accessibly deep, with simple player inputs masking a dynamic combat simulation that make it inviting to new players while challenging veterans.
Sums Steam only; Xbox, GOG publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

나름 재밌게 플레이했지만 반복되는듯한 플레이 방식에 물려서 그만둔 게임 나쁘지 않은게임
Gioco molto bello, dinamico e perfetto per coloro che amano la strategia. Ogni isola è diversa l'una dall'altra, le minacce sono diverse e per ogni isola devi avere un'elasticità mentale e cambiare sempre strategia. Parola chiave: Adattabilità. Inoltre le varie abilità e oggetti sparsi per la mappa e disseminati in isole diverse ti permettono di specializzare un determinato comandante, aiutandoti con una determinata situazione. Mano a mano che avanzi con la campagna i nemici si fanno sempre più numerosi e forti, costringendoti a fare delle scelte. Bellissimo.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

好玩,但是我们需要更新!!!
저사양 pc에도 잘 돌아감. 초간단 디펜스게임이지만 중독성있고 타격감이 좋다. 올클이후에도 그냥 간단히 할 수있는 캐주얼게임.
Excellent game. Simple concept, great execution.
A game that deserve to be a genera of its own. fried my device but its worth it haha.

Прекрасный инди-проект с приятной скандинавской музыкой, игра не то что бы сложная, но и просто стоять на месте вам тоже не даст. В арсенале мы имеем 3 вида войск (мечники, лучники, копейщики) с различными навыками у их генералов. За определённую сумму золотых монет можно улучшить войска, их навыки или же артефакт прикреплённый к конкретному отряду. Вражеские болванчики тоже не особо блещут разнообразием, но их тоже вполне хватит чтоб напрячься над прохождением. Как такового сюжета тут нет, а геймплей состоит из отбивания острова от наплывов варваров, но к прохождению игрульку всё равно рекомендую, а на распродаже так и вообще за копейки самое то
